FerriteCore is a powerful optimization mod designed to reduce the memory footprint of your Minecraft server. By streamlining internal processes, it allows for a more stable experience, particularly on modded instances with high memory requirements.

It is compatible with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. It is an essential utility for server owners looking to improve performance without sacrificing features.

Installing FerriteCore

On AwakeNode

  1. Download the version of FerriteCore for your server's software and Minecraft version from its Modrinth page.
  2. Open your server's Files tab, go to the mods folder and upload the .jar file. You can also upload it over SFTP.
  3. Restart your server from the Console tab.

On other hosts / manually

  1. Download the correct version of FerriteCore for your loader and Minecraft version from Modrinth.
  2. Use an SFTP client (like FileZilla) to connect to your server.
  3. Upload the downloaded .jar file to the /mods directory in your server's root folder.
  4. Restart your server to apply the changes.

Common issues

  • Version Mismatch: Ensure the mod version exactly matches your server's Minecraft version and loader. Using the wrong version will cause the server to crash on startup.
  • Missing Dependencies: Some versions of FerriteCore may require additional library mods. Check the Modrinth page for any listed dependencies.
  • Conflicting Mods: If the server fails to start after installation, check your latest.log file for conflicts with other optimization mods.

Performance

FerriteCore is designed to lower RAM usage, which can help prevent crashes caused by memory exhaustion. While this mod optimizes memory, it does not replace the need for sufficient RAM. If your server continues to experience "Out of Memory" errors, you may need to upgrade your hosting plan. On AwakeNode, upgrading your plan automatically updates your memory allocation (Xmx) without requiring manual configuration. If you are on another host, you must manually edit the -Xmx value in your server's startup script.
